You have two options: perform a clean install of Windows XP, or roll back
from Vista to XP.

In the first case you need an XP installation or recovery media (disk). You
do not have to uninstall Vista, it will be overwritten. Remember to back up
your files and folders first.

In the second case you have to have the folder windows.old on your system
drive. Follow the instructions on this help page:

Otherwise:

After backing up any data you wish to transfer to the new OS
installation, simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part
of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

He maintaines that talking about replacing vista is out of the context of
this newsgroup.

be
